The play with polarities is central in the development of the corporate identity of our office. A world of contrasts - old & new, hard & soft, dark & light, slow & fast - is supporting us and our platform for cultural interaction with various partners. The location, the centre of Brussels, near the KVS, Argos, Kaaitheater, Théâtre National and other cultural institutions, has been chosen in accordance to the aims of our office.

The space is organized as a city neighbourhood, with a main street crossing a sequence of functions: waiting room, working space, concert hall, meeting rooms, café, archive, kitchen, server room, pool table, brainstorming room, tennis table, lounge, model room etc.

The historical importance of Uppsala, the worldwide fame of its university, its rich cultural background, the vicinity of Stockholm and the national airport... all these things give the city a huge potential.

Once in the scientific and cultural vanguard of Sweden, Uppsala clearly wants to regain this status and applies for the selection of European Capital of Culture in 2014.

To reach a more coherent policy on art and culture and express its artistic level of ambition Uppsala should create new facilities for contemporary art and culture. The mission of this feasibility study is to identify what Uppsala really needs in order to achieve these targets.

TUC-Rail is the main Belgian engineering office for high-speed train infrastructure. With a foreseen growth from 450 to 650 employees, the company decided to move into a new 10 000 m² office building. For the interior of this generic office building we have designed a "spatial subversion" that confronts a rotated layout of landscape offices with the grid lines of the building. The design provides a stimulating working environment and transforms the corporate identity of a former "dusty" engineering office into a dynamic company concerned with the mobility of the future.

Situated inside an urban block close to the city center of Leuven, the site of the former brewery is virtually divided into three zones: the former stables transformed into row houses, the malt house transformed into lofts and new patio villas near the river Dijle.

We have designed special typologies for the row houses (in order to capture natural light) and for the villas (in order to solve the privacy conflicts with the surrounding existing houses). The design of the lofts required a re-division of the building height, which led to a façade – palimpsest in which all historical interventions remain visible.

The project is based on an efficient long term master plan that combines a maximum of green space with a logical sequence of existing and new school buildings. In this way the complex can easily be phased and extended throughout the years whilst maintaining the essential qualities of the initial scheme.

In a first phase a volume of 8 classrooms was built. This division of the school takes care of mentally handicapped and autistic children and, as these children are over-sensitive towards repetitive patterns, the position of the windows in the facade had to be randomized.

Adding offices, daylight and views on the gardens was a way to upgrade the derelict basement and turn it into valuable new functional space.

In this extension, the façades of the historical Cloth Hall and of the other neighbouring buildings become inner walls. The edges between inside and outside are blurred, as you look from the inside of the old buildings through the old façacades to a new inside space – a transparency implied by the simultaneous perception of different spatial locations.

Instead of hiding the required vertical and horizontal circulation, we have designed it as a ‘promenade architecturale’ along the former historical facades, a space which fluctuates in a continuous activity and culminates in a panoramic view of the city.

The designs were instigators for creativity and that in a non-museum office context. As we were very happy of both the aesthetic and functional value, we started to collaborate with Bram Boo for competitions.

Memymom represents our project RITS Film & Theater School Brussels via photo montages referring to Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Rear Window": photographer L.B. Jeffries is confined to his small apartment with a broken leg and spends his time looking out of the rear window observing his neighbors. As he begins to suspect one of his neighbors across the courtyard to have murdered his wife, he enlists the help of his high society fashion-consultant girlfriend Lisa and his visiting nurse Stella to investigate.

The story of Rear Window (1954) is dealing with voyeurism in a building complex that is in a way similar to RITS, as one of the main architectural concerns for this project was to see and to be seen. On the one hand there is the privacy of the neighbors of RITS confronted with the very dense cluster of school buildings and inner courtyards. On the other hand there are the visibility of the creative production and the participation of this art school in Dansaertstraat, a trendy and busy street of the European capital.

As it is also true for our collaboration with Marin Kasimir, the way Memymom has represented our project shows that - in order to reveal complex spatial qualities - one sometimes draws more information from an altered representation of architecture than from a realistic one.
